First Baptist Church offers one-day summer camp for local children
First Baptist Church is adding a one-day camp for children entering kindergarten through sixth grade, with meals and activities at 2200 Diamond Drive.
First Baptist Church of Los Alamos will open its doors Saturday for a one-day camp that gives families another supervised option during the long stretch of summer break. The program is aimed at children entering kindergarten through sixth grade for the 2026-2027 school year and mixes play, movement and creative activities in a familiar local setting.
The camp is set for June 20 at First Baptist Church, 2200 Diamond Drive in Los Alamos. Organizers say the day will include sports, indoor games, outdoor games, arts, crafts and other activities, with a morning snack and lunch provided. That combination turns the camp into more than a few hours of entertainment: it gives parents a full-day option without the extra work of packing meals or building a schedule around multiple stops.
In Los Alamos County, where school breaks can leave families piecing together childcare, camps and enrichment programs from several providers, the church’s one-day offering fills a narrow but useful gap. Faith-based groups are part of that seasonal patchwork, offering activities that are open to the broader community even when they are hosted by a congregation. First Baptist’s camp is aimed at children who need structure, social time and supervision, while still keeping the atmosphere informal and active.
The church is not a new face in town. Its public website lists Sunday Bible study at 9 a.m. and worship at 10:30 a.m., underscoring the congregation’s regular presence in Los Alamos. A 2026 summer activity registration form also points to a broader slate of children’s programs this season, including VBS, Passport Missions, Dogwood Camp, Music & Arts Camp and B.A.M. Camp.
Families looking across the county already have other choices. The Family YMCA’s 2026 summer camp program serves children entering grades K-6 and includes reading, science, arts projects, group games, sports and free play. Pajarito Environmental Education Center’s 2026 camps are open to children entering grades 1-8 and emphasize outdoor exploration, hands-on learning and environmental education. Against that backdrop, First Baptist’s one-day camp offers a shorter, simpler option for elementary-age children who want a full day of structured fun close to home.
